Hello Rita,
I only recently found your entry on Roots.com re: Allen. I am hoping that you have been able to find some information out re: Allens as that is my family. They came from NY to MI. My greatgrandfather, Wm Riley Allen was born 1856 in MI, he died in 1922 in N.M. I know he had at least one sister and one brother, John F.(Franklin) Allen, and perhaps more. I hope you can help me.
